Queen's Lodge in Colwyn Bay is up for sale. It's set in 13 acres of ground so I don't know what the future holds for it. I've a vague memory that there was a planning application made in the past but don't know whether it has expired or not

Probably the biggest estate remaining in pretty much its original state from Victorian times in Colwyn Bay. No doubt the majority of the lovely gardens and woodlands will be bulldozed to provide noddy houses, with the mansion being converted into luxury apartments. Another big part of what I call the 'real' Colwyn Bay will be gone for good.

A red helicopter (possibly an air ambulance) passed closely overhead about 10 minutes ago and looked like it was landing near the Bryn Cadno Reserve but no sign of it now near the Community Centre on the heights

I had been back in the garden for about 15 minutes when I heard the sound of the helicopter starting up and it went overhead but went in a westerly direction possibly to Bangor Hospital whereas incidents in Colwyn Bay normally go to the Bodelwyddan Hospital

I never found out why the helicopter was in the area yesterday, but just now I was looking out of my window and another helicopter was flying very low above the bay in Rhos on Sea and it looked like it was searching for something, then it flew off along the coast in the direction of Rhyl

H. Todays helicopter is SAR 936 Coastguard rescue based,in Caernarfon, the one you mentioned yesterday, I had a look on Flight tracker, it did not give any details, but, flew from Tudweiliog to your area, circled for bit, then headed back.?

I think I mentioned Flight Tracker before, but just in case...... You are not allowed to view links.
